Technical Abstract

A tip of a wire is bonded to a first electrode by using a tool. The wire is drawn from the first electrode to a bump on a second electrode. Apart of the wire is bonded to the center of the bump or a portion of the bump beyond the center in a drawing direction of the wire by using a part of the tool on a first electrode side in the drawing direction of the wire.

Patent Claims
15 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: bonding a tip of a wire to a first electrode by using a tool; drawing the wire from the first electrode to a bump on a second electrode; bonding a part of the wire to a center of the bump or a portion of the bump beyond the center along a drawing direction of the wire by using a part of the tool on a first electrode side; and deforming only a partial width of the bump, the tool being moved on the bump in a width direction of the bump while the part of the wire is bonded.

2

2. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device as defined by claim 1 , a part of the bump being deformed by the tool in bonding the part of the wire.

3

3. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device as defined by claim 1 , the tool being moved on the bump in the drawing direction of the wire in bonding the part of the wire.

4

4. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device as defined by claim 1 , bonding the part of the wire being performed while applying ultrasonic vibration to the bump.

5

5. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device as defined by claim 1 , the tool having a hole into which the wire is inserted, and a bonding being performed by using a part of an open end of the tool on the first electrode side in bonding the part of the wire.

6

6. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device as defined by claim 1 , before bonding the tip of the wire, further comprising: bonding a tip of a second wire formed in a shape of a ball to the second electrode; drawing a part of the second wire from the tip bonded to the second electrode; forming the bump on the second electrode by deforming the second wire at a portion continuous with the tip on the tip; and cutting the second wire leaving the bump on the second electrode.

7

7. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device as defined by claim 6 , the top end of the bump being formed so that a height of the top end decreases in a direction toward an outside of the semiconductor device in forming the bump on the second electrode.

8

8. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device as defined by claim 1 , deforming only the partial width of the bump so that the deformed partial width of the bump is not before a center line of the bump in the drawing direction of the wire.

9

9. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: bonding a tip of a wire to a first electrode by using a tool; drawing the wire from the first electrode to a bump on a second electrode; bonding a part of the wire to a center of the bump or a portion of the bump beyond the center along a drawing direction of the wire by using a part of the tool on a first electrode side; and deforming and pressing the wire over only a partial width of the bonding between the wire and the bump, the tool being moved on the bump in a width direction of the bump while the part of the wire is bonded.

10

10. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device as defined by claim 9 , part of the bump being deformed by the tool in bonding the part of the wire.

11

11. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device as defined by claim 9 , the tool being moved on the bump in the drawing direction of the wire in bonding the part of the wire.

12

12. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device as defined by claim 9 , bonding the part of the wire being performed while applying ultrasonic vibration to the bump.

13

13. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device as defined by claim 9 , the tool having a hole into which the wire is inserted, and a bonding being performed by using a part of an open end of the tool on the first electrode side in bonding the part of the wire.

14

14. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device as defined by claim 9 , before bonding the tip of the wire, further comprising: bonding a tip of a second wire formed in a shape of a ball to the second electrode; drawing a part of the second wire from the tip bonded to the second electrode; forming the bump on the second electrode by deforming the second wire at a portion continuous with the tip on the tip; and cutting the second wire leaving the bump on the second electrode.

15

15. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device as defined by claim 9 , the top end of the bump being formed so that a height of the top end decreases in a direction toward an outside of the semiconductor device in forming the bump on the second electrode.
